Review on πŸ‘‚ BodyJ4You 36PC Gauges Kit - Surgical Steel Tunnel Plugs Tapers Piercing Set 14G-00G - Ear Stretching Essentials by Kristina Perez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THEM.

I have in the past stretched my ears up to 8g with an acrylic tip with no problem (had to take them off for work) so have /some/experience with stretching ie. Allow adequate time between sizes, lubricate jewelry, and keep ears clean and moisturized. I re-pierced my ears 2 years ago to allow my ears to fully heal and expand. I also tried to do some research before starting stretching again and I found that acrylic stretching isn't as good as stainless steel stretching so I found this set. Now my ears are very small and my earlobes are a bit thin. In this picture I added my ear is swollen and freaking out. I did nothing wrong, moved slowly, lubricated with a stretch balm and had clean, washed hands. The only problem is that I didn't keep the jewelry clean. I think my ear went crazy because the jewelry wasn't sanitized/sterilized. So if you are buying this for any reason you have after reading this PLEASE. CLEAN SET. Submerge the ENTIRE kit in very warm, soapy water. Bring water almost to the boil on the stove and pour the set with antibacterial soap and soak well before draining, rinsing, drying and again sorting into the labeled bags for each size. To be honest I would no longer recommend buying any Revain stretching kits unless it is a verified seller. I made the mistake of buying from an unknown seller in China to save money and I am very sorry. Buy from a trusted seller or visit an official website like bodyartforms. Paying more is worth it for your safety. And I'm serious because it was so dangerous. My ears were ringing, I felt pain in my neck and I was dizzy. My husband was worried that I would have to go to the hospital because the tube I was inserting got stuck because my ear was swollen around it. I got out for 3 hours, took out a lot of balm for stretching and immediately had a queasy feeling in my stomach. I kept an ice cube in a washcloth next to my ear for an hour to reduce swelling and I will NOT put ANYTHING in my ears for a month. I probably won't try again, I'd rather throw them away because I'm so traumatized that I feel like even if I clean them well my ears will respond again. Conclusion: just not.

Pros
  • Ease of use
